Kuwait’s tourism and leisure sector is undergoing a seismic shift with the opening of the new Entertainment City project, a mega project that will become a paramount leisure destination in the region.
The Entertainment City project is located over a land area of 2.65 million square meters and will include amusement parks, water parks, gaming centers, retail areas, and sports facilities directed at everyone, including families and thrill seekers.
Entertainment City is Creating Jobs & Tourism
However, this ambitious project is not only a destination with fun and excitement in mind, but also has a strong economic vision in mind. Government Officials expect that the Entertainment City will create at least 4,000 direct and indirect jobs and draw over 900,000 visitors from within Kuwait and beyond. To provide a truly world-class development, Kuwait welcomes Global operators and investors who are interested in developing or operating facilities and services on the site. This includes international theme park brands, hotel chains, and entertainment companies, adding an international flavour to the new city.
Once it’s completed, Entertainment City is expected to position Kuwait as a credible player in the Gulf region’s entertainment and tourism tussle with projects in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
As it’s undertaking diversification from an oil-based economy, projects like Entertainment City is a daring move to an active, visitor-friendly future.
